RC 333 is by far the best value proposition in the market as the offer is open for all customers with all types of handsets be it 2G, 3G or 4G."

In comparison, Reliance Jio last week announced a number of new data plans as its Summer Surprise Offer and Dhan Dhanadan Offer plans are expiring. The Mukesh Ambani-led company is now offering 84GB at Rs. 399, with a daily cap at 1GB. With the Rs. 309 and Rs. 509 Jio plans, the company is offering 1GB and 2GB of data per day respectively. The validity of the plans has also been extended from 28 days to 56 days.

While these plans come with daily data caps and are not comparable to the new Aircel plan, there's also a new Rs. 349 Jio plan which gives you 20GB of data for 56 days, with no daily usage caps.

Separately, Jio's Rs. 999 and Rs. 1,999 plans now come with a validity of 90 days (90GB) and 120 days (155GB), instead of 60 days (60GB) and 90 days (125GB) earlier, respectively.
